Day 1: Tolo, Greece

Nine hour flight  out of Philadelphia and 3 hour bus ride from Athens to our sea-side hotel. Felt like forever. I guess that doesn't compare to that 23 hour drive to Florida last year...

Stopped at the isthmus in Corinth for bit to take some fun pictures and tried Soblaki (essentiallt Greek steak on a stick). Quite delicious. Food here quite like which we had that night in Pittsburgh the night we visited the symphony: Rice, tomato sauce, beef, etc.

Warm and in 70s (Fahrenheit that is). Tomorrow will involve Mycenae and trekking to the Acro-Corinth the day after.

About 10:30 pm I'm sitting in a quaint little café, overlooking the Aegean Sea, enjoying some rather dry red wine and extremely salty peanuts with some friends. Life is good. And legal.

 I'll keep you posted.
